Critics roast anti-grill column that urged Americans to celebrate July 4 in the kitchen: 'This is hate speech'

Business Insider columnist Josh Barro prepared for July 4 weekend by declaring that "grilling is bad," but critics swiftly condemned his opinion on the beloved American pastime. 

"Who doesn't like a backyard barbecue? Me, that's who," Barro wrote. "There's a reason you do most of your cooking inside: Grills are impossible to keep clean, they lack good temperature control, and they make worse food than what you can prepare in your kitchen." The columnist then suggested that Fourth of July celebrations should be shifted indoors.
